It’s a Filmspotting double feature this week with Lone Scherfig’s An Education and Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist. First off is An Education, which both Adam and Matty really love. Matty really admires all of the character dynamics, most importantly the relationship between Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgaard’s characters, the latter of which he can identify with personally in his youth. The art direction, screenplay, and casting all receive plenty of praise.
Antichrist doesn’t nearly get as many props as An Education, but both Adam and Matty appreciate the film more than their fellow movie reviewers at /Film. The opening scene is noted as a visual wonder, displaying some of the finesse of director Von Trier. Some of the more violent scenes are more open to scrutiny, though, but the whole review tends to be more of an appreciation of Von Trier’s dedication to his vision rather than a dissection of execution of specific elements.
